During that year one of our classmates, Lorraine Mayo, dropped out. Her loss was balanced, however, by the addition of Lois Blagden. Our initiation by the members of the Student Council early in the year was most enjoyable. Our cardboard box costumes were outlandish but what fun we had with those cowbells! Our number was increased by one in the fall of 1952 when George Grant joined us. During the year, Joyce Miller left, giving us a total membership of twenty-three at the end of the year. 7731: 1 J N 5 At the beginning of our Junior year we were pleased to welcome a new member, Nancy Wells, into our class. During that year twelve of our class- mates participated in the annual Junior Prize Speaking Contest, the prize winners being Darrell Moody, Joyce Fletcher and Lois Blagden. When we entered school as Seniors in the fall of 1954, Gene Dickey's name was missing from the class roll. Our number has been further reduced since that time by the loss of Katherine Jacques and Walter Parlin. As we approach the June 9th graduation date, we have twenty-one members. eigh- If QQ' teen of whom were among the twenty-three Freshmen who entered Anson ...-f Academy away back in September of 1951. A glance at our activities and accomplishments during our four years at Anson Academy indicates why the Class of 1955 has earned a reputation as a very energetic and well-rounded group. Without exception all members of the class have been very active participants in one or more of the various school activities. That our class has excelled in scholastic achievement as well as in other fields is shown by the fact that the names of many of our members have appeared consistently on the honor roll. In the spring we plan to take a nip to an as yet undetermined destination. The many varied activities undertaken to raise money to finance this venture include washing cars, raffles, dances, food sales, and the collection of dues from the members of the class. This trip will serve as a fitting climax to our Q9 it 7 'a i - ,f four enjoyable years as students at Anson Academy.
